CIGAR-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 289,412, dated December4, 1883.

Application filed February 20, 1883. (No model.) Patented in GermanyMarch 29, 1882, No. 20,189.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL HAUGK, a citizen of Germany, residingat Wurzen,in Saxony, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Cigar-Machines, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to cigar hand-rolling machines; and it consists inthe combination of a vibrating shaft carrying rods having springs andsupporting a pressure-roller which carries a bight in an apron with theframe of the machine, whereby the desired pressure or friction in therolling of the cigar is produced.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a side elevation of myimproved cigar-machine. Fig. II is a top view of the same. Fig. III is avertical section at line AA, Fig. II, and Fig.

IV is a vertical section at B B, Fig. II, with the pressure-roller atthe extreme end of its section.

Similar letters represent similar parts in all the figures.

In a suitable frame, F, ashaft, a, is arranged, supported in bearings bb, capable of being raised or lowered by means of suitable setscrews, 06. Upon this shaft a drum or pulley, m, is attached, around which aband, 9, is wound, the lower end of which is attached to a suitabletreadle (not shown in the drawings) for the purpose of turning thisshaft the required distance around whenever the treadle is acted upon. Aspring, h, wound around a shaft, h, and connected through a flexiblerod, h, with the drum m, causes the drum m and shaft c to turn backagain in the position shown in Fig. IV as soon as the pressure or actionupon the treadle is removed.

To the ends of the shaft to rods 0 c are attached, provided withspring-cases f f, the upper ends of said rods 0 a carrying thepressureroller d. The spring-cases f f contain spiral springs 2 2, actedupon by the case-caps 3 8, whereby the action of said springs 2 2 may beincreased or diminished, and thereby increas ing or diminishingthepressure of the roller cl during its action with the rolling-band 13.

The upper surface of the frame F is made partly concentric with theshaft a at F, and with a recess, F, near the after end, and with asuitable opening, F., near the back for the frame F. At the point p ofthe frame F the rolling-band t is attached, passing over the top surfaceof said frame and over a guidingroller, 9", placed in the opening F,then into the interior of the frame F, the end of said band 1; beingattached to a roller, 0. This rolling-band t' passes likewise around abar or strap, is, attached to suitable springs, k,wound around a shaft,or, to keep said rolling-band i always tight and properly stretched. Therollers or shafts 0 and a are provided with suitable ratchet-wheels, qq, in connection with pawls,whereby the position of said shafts may bechanged and regulated, and by which means the working part of therolling-band 2' may be lengthened or shortened, as may be required.

The tobacco,with the end of the wrapper or binder for the cigar, isplaced upon the bandt' and pressed into the recess F, forward of theroller (1, (when in a position as shown in Fig. IV,) when motion beinggiven to the treadle and band said roller (1 will move first into theposition shown in Fig. I, where the rolling-band i surrounds the tobacco15, forming a bight, and afurther motion of the roller 01 over theconcentric surface F will roll or wind the wrapper or hinder around thetobacco until the roller (1 arrives at the end of this concenthe bite toreceive the tobacco, asshown in h Fig. I, can easily be regulatedaccording as a large or small, or, more properly, a thick or thin cigaris to be manufactured or operated upon, and by the arrangement of thespringcases f f in the rods 0 c and movable bearings of the shaft a, thepressure of the roller d can easily be increased or diminished, as maybe desired.

What I claim 'as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is- 1. In a cigar-machine, the movable shaft a, withrod s orlcvers 0,provided with spring-cases f, and the pressure-roller d, in combinationwith the rolling-band t and frameF, arranged I to operate in the mannerand for the purpose substantially as set forth.

2. A cigar-machine consisting of the frame F, the upper surface of whichis arranged as described, the rolling-band i, one end of which isfastened to the front of the frame and the other end, after passingaround a spring-bar or strap, is, to a shaft, 0, and the pressure-roller01, attached to vibrating rods 0 0, having springs, the whole beingcombined and ar- 10 ranged to operate substantially in the man ner andfor the purpose herein described and set forth.
